The following is an allegory based on 2 Kings 22-23, which tells the story of King Josiah and the rediscovery of the book of the law. The lieutenant of the Fourth Galactic League rushed into General Lazlo’s office: General, my platoon was searching old Lymerian archives. We found something you should see. The lieutenant pulled up a document on his hologram pad and passed it over. The general gasped. Is that Earthen religious law? Weren’t all Earthen religious laws catalogued already? Tears began to form in the general’s eyes. *How could we have lost something so precious?* She began to read the text, The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. She paused. Lieutenant, I need you to contact the Old Earth Religious Order. I must speak to a representative at once. As the lieutenant made contact with the Order, the general paged through the document. She saw messages proclaiming love and salvationand over and over, the name Jesus. *Hadn’t she once heard an old story of a Jesus who had risen from the grave?* General, said the lieutenant, I have a leader of the Old Earth Religious Order. The general spoke with the leader, who said the rediscovered book was Christian Scripturea text thought to have been lost over four hundred years ago. When the leader hung up, the general was left staring at a blank screen. She reflected on her own life. She was a hard worker and good at her job, but she often felt unfulfilled, even in success. She wondered if this rediscovered book had the answers. She also thought of the chaos in her colony and wondered if the book contained the path to true peace. General Lazlo pressed the emergency broadcast button and began to address the entire colony: Dear citizens, something vital was rediscovered today, and I have the privilege of reading it to you. Naomi Zylstra The Bible is about Jesus, who offers us freedom from sin (Acts 10:43). That’s why it’s such an important book. How does this affect the way we study and understand it? But he [Jesus] said, On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it. Luke 11:28 (WEB)
